You persuad me to read edgar allan poe's stories
Thank you

I always have the unexplainable intuition that Poe was British...

Great graphics.

There are 1.) True Originals
2.) Mere Imitators
3.) And those not sharpened enough to know the difference.

Poe is the only man who can rock the short mustache and not be confused with certain Austrian nutcase

Anybody else here because of bsd?

Rip my wallet

Who else came here after watching Mike Flanagan’s “The Fall of the House of Usher” on Netflix?

Edgar Allan Poe was so cool!

He’s my idol!

Every we see is a dream within a dream

Edgar Allen Poe and Vincent Price are are timeless and perfectioness

One interesting example of how Poe used every word to create the unity of effect can be found in the very title of “The Tell-Tale Heart.” The stress and rhythm of the phrase, “tell-tale,” is similar to a heartbeat.

It’s beautifully animated, who’s the artist

Edgar Allen Poe when he finds another way to stuff a dead body in the walls

All so true... he himself...
Apparently with maybe emotional, Health problems in his short life.
And understand there was such limited Medical care, and Diagnosis!!...
A Genius I believe, but an elongated life he would have had!!...
A lot of mental , physical sickness in that Era...
Shortened life, so much more to give.. I read, enjoy, and read !!!

His grave is so small and underappreciated too. I visited when in Baltimore, I'm from the UK, and I expected a shrine but then again maybe Poe would have hated that. Still a privilege to have been there. Go Poe!

he was a martyr died showing the horrors of this world.

Thank you ted ed. ❤

And when asked about my wife,
And mother, whom both lost their lives,
At the age of 24,
Quoth the Raven "Nevermore."

“There is no secret ingredient” -Po

I think you all should cover Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde at some point. The original novella is very underrated.

What is the music used in this video?

You should avoid his books.

My favorite author🖤

I think it is pretty odd, but good that E. A. Poe should be making a comeback now. I used to teach his works to middle school-students years ago. Then most schools took his work out of the English curriculum. They need to put it back in because no contemporary authors can write like Poe, and kids need to see what exceptional writing looks like.

Edgar Allen Poe is a freaking creep

"Truth is not in a well. In fact, as regards the more important knowledge, I do believe that she is invariably superficial."
-Edgar Allan Poe in "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" (1841)

The music is so pretty! What is it?
